  I agree, Truman. We clearly live in the "sound bite" generation, with 
escalating cases of ADD and ADHD,  shorter attention spans and the need 
for constant entertainment and distraction like texting, video games, 
and movies.  Our television newscasts can cover an entire story in less 
than a minute, and a few sentences. I see some of this lack of attention 
span  in myself, at times. That's one of the reasons that I think 
endurance riding is therapeutic. It forces us to be away from TV, 
computers, emails and constant dialog for long periods of time. It's 
been said that all man's troubles can be boiled down to the fact that we 
aren't able to sit quietly in a room for fifteen minutes alone with our 
thoughts. Some truth in that, I think.   Dr Q
